The final four is set. Two teams from the Southeastern conference, Florida and Kentucky. Wisconsin representing the Big Ten and Connecticut representing what ever is the name of their conference is called now that they weren't ask to join the ACC and thrown out of the Big East. U Conn is one school at the wrong place at the wrong time and yet they are heading to the final four when nobody from the ACC or Big East will.
I have found it very hard to watch much of the tournament when everyone That I would cheer for is home. The biggest problem I have is the poor offensive out put by most of the teams using the the excuse that teams are playing great defense.
You see I don't see very many teams that know how to attack and defense. If they can't get down before the defense sets up and get a layup the basic college offense is pass the ball outside the three point line and shoot. Way back in the day when basketball players wore shorts to play basketball I was taught that every pass had to have a purpose.
You just don't throw it over in the right corner and stand and watch. You follow your pass by setting a screen. I hate the basketball of clear out and let me go one on one and take a bad shot. Basketball offense of today is slam dunk and three pointers.
There is no doubt that AAU basketball, the one and done college players have hurt college basketball. The NBA can be blamed for the one and done but you know there are rumblings in the NBA the 19 is too young and they need to up the age limit. The NBA players Union would have to sign off on that but why would a NBA player want young players on rosters taking their jobs ?
While we are talking about great offense, why would anyone want to pay extreme prices to go to and NBA game where the final score was 83-78. The losing team in the NBA should average at least 95 points a game. How many teams in the ranks even score 100 once in a while.
Despite how awful the games have been they have been so close that the endings many have been extremely great at the end. When we cut the TV off at the end or walk out of the stadium to go home the only thing that matters is that we were entertained. This NCAA tournament surely has been that.
